I bought a replacement battery that was not OEM off eBay. After about 4-6 months of use, the thing nearly blew up on me. The battery got so hot it could’ve started a fire. Seriously, spend the extra money, its not worth the risk.

If you’re buying a replacement make sure it meets the safety standards and it is approved for use. I’m going to be buying only OEM batteries/chargers from now on.

    This should say “Don’t buy shitty non OEM chargers”. There are plenty of reliable non OEM brands that sell perfectly reliable chargers. Anker for example.
